Rcpp 0.7.10

Versions 0.7.7 to 0.7.9 of Rcpp contained a
bug: protecting paths with quotes was supposed to help with Windows builds, but did the
opposite at least in ‘backticks mode’ for getting path and/or library
information. Using the shQuote() function instead helped. Our
thanks to the tireless R-on-Windows maintainer Uwe Ligges for an earlier
heads-up about the problem. So another quick bug-fix release 0.7.10 is now inDebian and should be on CRAN some time tomorrow.

We also put two small improvements in, see the full NEWS entry for this release:

0.7.10 2010-03-15
o new class Rcpp::S4 whose constructor checks if the object is an S4 object
o maximum number of templated arguments to the pairlist function,
the DottedPair constructor, the Language constructor and the
Pairlist constructor has been updated to 20 (was 5) and a script has been
added to the source tree should we want to change it again
o use shQuotes() to protect Windows path names (which may contain spaces)
